%N a(n) = (...((2^3)^4)^...)^n.
%C Another kind of exponential factorial.
%C See cross-references for other possible definitions of exponential factorials.
%C Some other terms of the sequence can be computed, but they are quite large and it wouldn't be very convenient to display them.
%C The next term has 759 digits. - _Harvey P. Dale_, Oct 22 2019
%F a(n) = 2^(n!/2) for n >= 2. - _Karl W. Heuer_, Nov 25 2014
%e a(4) = 4096, as (2^3)^4 = 4096.
